It's Foodie Night Week!

This month is Angie's night to host Foodie Night, but we're going to congregate at my house. She chose a "Street Food" theme, but we've been planning our guest stars for a while now. We decided that we would celebrate our partners and invite them, this time around. Normally, they just get to hear about all of the fabulous food and fun after we have come home. John, in fact, has ended up doing quiet a bit of my prep work some busy Foodie Nights, and he maybe gets a few bites saved.

The idea is that we are going to cook for them, and let them relax and hang back. Angie called it, though. Our men are Foodies; they'll probably end up taking over the grills. We'll be short Lacy and her husband this week, as they have a family vacation planned. You know we are going to miss her face. We do get to have Steve, Angie's love, in from LA. Angie also invited one more guest star, Chris. He works with us, and he is a bona fide Foodie in his own right. We normally like to torture him post-Foodie Night with tales of our copious amounts of butter and liquor, so Angie invited him this month. I know he'll be at the grill with the rest of the guys.

I told the girls to bring their recipes, their inspiration, and what they did to make their recipe their own. Once I have that loaded with the pictures, I will get a post up. I can't promise it will be that night. Ryan mentioned something about orange margaritas....

I will be making Mexicali Corn, but not the kind with diced green and red peppers. I got my inspiration from Mexican street corn and from the small plate version at the Meddlesome Moth. I am still trying to think of ways to make it really special. Tequila garlic butter? I don't know... I'd love some suggestions.

I am going to leave you with a little something to dream about. It is from Chris Aeby's blog, and it's a Peach and Basil Smash. You're off to make one now, aren't you?

Love,

Anne
